The aim of the paper is to evaluate the fluctuations of central government expenditure on agriculture, the agriculture share of GDP and the level of national economies orientation on agriculture in the European Union (EU) countries, divided into the elder EU democracies and the post-communist EU member states. In the study, the agricultural orientation index for central government expenditure (AOI) was calculated. The data came from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the World Bank. The analysis covered the period 2001-2016, due to the data availability. The results were presented mainly using Japanese candlestick charting. In most EU countries shrinking national expenditure on agriculture in relation to other spending categories were observed. That decrease was twice bigger in the elder EU democracies than in the post-communist countries although the first group of countries was spending on agriculture four times less. In almost all EU member states a reduction of more than 20% in the share of the agriculture in GDP creation was observed. The post-communist EU countries were more agri-oriented than the elder EU democracies. Taking into account the AOI levels, agriculture did not belong to top priority spending categories for EU national governments. The visible differences between the two country groups have roots in the postwar diverse economic development caused by political heritage. The performed research is comparative and should be treated as a contribution to future studies. (original abstract)

Celem artykułu jest ocena wahań wydatków z krajowych budżetów centralnych na rolnictwo, udziału wartości dodanej rolnictwa w PKB oraz poziomu zorientowania gospodarek narodowych na rolnictwo w krajach Unii Europejskiej w podziale na dojrzałe demokracje oraz postkomunistyczne państwa członkowskie UE. W badaniu został obliczony wskaźnik orientacji rolniczej (AOI). Wykorzystano dane pochodzące z Organizacji Narodów Zjednoczonych ds. Wyżywienia i Rolnictwa (FAO) oraz Banku Światowego. Badaniem został objęty okres 2001-2017 ze względu na dostępność danych. Wyniki zostały przedstawione głów-nie z wykorzystaniem metody świec japońskich. W większości krajów UE zaobserwowano zmniejszenie poziomu wydatków na rolnictwo w stosunku do innych kategorii krajowych wydatków publicznych. Spadek ten był dwukrotnie większy w dojrzałych demokracjach UE niż w krajach postkomunistycznych UE, chociaż pierwsza grupa krajów wydawała na rolnictwo cztery razy mniej. W prawie wszystkich państwach UE zaobserwowano zmniejszenie udziału rolnictwa w tworzeniu PKB, przeciętnie o ponad 20%. Postkomunistyczne kraje UE były bardziej zorientowane na rolnictwo niż dojrzałe demokracje UE. Biorąc pod uwagę poziomy AOI, rolnictwo nie należało do priorytetowej kategorii wydatków rządów krajowych UE. Widoczne różnice między dwiema analizowanymi grupami krajów mają swoje źródło w powojennym zróżnicowanym rozwoju gospodarczym będącym konsekwencją politycznej spuścizny. Przeprowadzone badanie ma charakter porównawczy i może stanowić przyczynek przyszłych badań. (abstrakt oryginalny)
